questions on costs
How would you compare the costs of ownership between a motor home and a fifth wheel/pick up combo? I'm interested in maintenance. Barring the driveline differences are equally equipped coach and trail...

Other than considering cost, you might consider how you plan on using your rig. It always cost more to change your mind after the fact.
With a Motorhome,while traveling long distances,you can pull over and make some dinner, use the restroom relax a while never leaving the coach with the ac or heat running on a rainy or miserably cold day. Same with arriving at your final destination. Convenience is the key here.
However if you plan on traveling less, and staying put for long periods, a 5r and truck is the way to go. Especially if you have another use for the tow rig.
I would much rather have the motorhome option but my particular use fits a fiver better for the time being. Therefore the cost of maintenace and such dont matter. No matter which you choose, Rving is expensive.
Have to agree, better to decide which works best for an intended lifestyle, than cost or safety. Then figure out how much of that lifestyle you can afford.
